Alone with my thoughts this evening
  I walked on the banks of Tyne
  I wondered how I could win you
  Or if I could make you mine
  Or if I could make you mine
    The wind it was so insistent
  With tales of a stormy south
  But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
  There came a dryness in my mouth
  Came a dryness in my mouth
    For then without rhyme or reason
  The two birds did rise up to fly
  And where the two birds were flying
  I swear I saw you and I
  I swear I saw you and I
    I walked out this morning
  It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
  For the first time I saw the work of heaven
  In the line where the hills had been married to the sky
  And all around me
  Every blade of singing grass
  Was calling out your name
  And that our love would always last
  And inside every turning leaf
  Is the pattern of an older tree
  The shape of our future
  The shape of all our history
  And out of the confusion
  Where the river meets the sea
  Came things I'd never seen
  Things I'd never seen
    I was brought to my senses
  I was blind but now that I can see
  Every signpost in nature
  Said you belong to me
    I know it's true
  It's written in a sky as blue
  As blue as your eyes
  As blue as your eyes
  If nature's red in tooth and claw
  Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw
  The wounds she gave me
  Were the wounds that would heal me
  And we'd be like the moon and sun
  And when our courtly dance had run
  Its course across the sky
  Then together we would lie
  And out of the confusion
  Where the river meets the sea
  Something new would arrive
  Something better would arrive
    I was brought to my senses
  I was blind but now that I can see
  Every signpost in nature
  Said you belong to me
  I was brought to my senses
  I was blind but now that I can see
  Every signpost in nature
  Said you belong to me...
